Best of the Genea-Blogs - Week of 13 to 19 December 2020
Dozens of genealogy and family history bloggers write thousands of posts every week about their research, their families, and their interests. I appreciate each one of them and their efforts.

Here s mine: I received See s Dark Chocolate peppermints from Linda and M&Ms from Lori s boys. We received a framed photo of Lori and her boys in front of their tree. I received a t-shirt from Lori and her boys, and a hoodie sweatshirt with the grandkids photos on it from Tami and her family. Santa brought me a San Diego Memories photo book covering the 1960s and 1970s, and we received 14 metal spoons to replace the spoons lost over the past years (we were down to two).
